-Isabella's POV:-
It has been two, long, depressing and stressing weeks. Two weeks that have turned my life over completely, broken my heart over and over, caused me the pain and grief that the past abuse could never compare to. Two weeks, in which we learnt both good yet bad news. It has been almost a month since I've found about my father and the whole incident, however it has been two weeks since that life changing appointment.
*Flashback*
"Mr Juno?" The doctor asked.
My father and i rose from our seats, following the doctor in.
I slowly followed the doctor, twisting and knotting my fingers together, scared of the outcome of today. Today, the day we will know if my father has chances of recovering and getting better.
'Oh God please help us, i know he isn't the most amazing father, but please help and save him" I silently prayed
We all walked into the office and took our seats. I shifted nervously in my seat and slightly calmed down when my father held my sweaty hands in his.
"Okay Mr Juno, how have you been? Anymore symptoms, pains?"
"I'm feeling fine Doctor, just the fact that more bruises are occurring, I'm feeling more tired. My body aches and when the stress gets too much, i feel faint. If i dont eat on time, i feel my body weakening. Isabella here has had to help me continuously, during the past one and a half weeks since she's found out. I've fell into many fits since the last appointment a week ago, however they are getting worse. I dont feel good most of the days and prefer staying in bed. I do intend to move around however it does take a lot out of me"
My heart was breaking at what my father was saying. I felt so helpless that he's in pain and i can't do anything about it. I just wanted to hold him tight, tell him everything is fine, cure him and then live the rest of my life happily with him.
"Right, Mr Juno, i have both good and bad news today. Since the last appointment i informed you what the cancer was. so leukaemia being an illness in which the bone marrow starts to produce abnormal white blood cells, as they are abnormal they won't be able to do their job efficiently which is to fight against infections so the blood is open to all infections which are dangerous and can have negative effects on the body, however i did inform you that we would need to run tests to see how far you are and what are the cures that will most likely help.
Now, this is the tricky bit, so i will like to inform you beforehand that this will be some emotional yet important information. Therefore i am asking if you would like me to inform you in front of you daughter-"
"Yes, yes I'm staying! I'm not leaving and you can't make me f-"
"Dont worry Isi, i dont want you to go, i need my rock with me"
I smiled at my father and turned my attention back to the doctor.
"Right, well the test that have come back, have indicated that the cancer is almost at the point where there are chances that without the right treatment, there is a chance that the cancer will...unfortunately kill you. Because it runs in your family, and you did not take enough notice, and continued drinking and doing drugs, it has made the cancer worse. Affecting the chances of surviving and recovering. However, maybe, with the right treatment, there are chances that you will get better; however it is a 50/50% chance of it being unsuccessful and successful. Also it depends if we can find a bone marrow transplant as soon as possible. It is extremely important that we put you on the waiting list since we are at a stage where we need to be careful of what we do, when we do and how we do. Now, I'm not saying that it will a 100% fail however i would like you to know that there are chances. I know that this is a lot of information to digest; however it is important that we start the other forms of treatment we spoke about, so chemotherapy, however like i had said, it is not a100% that it will work, however there have been and are cases that it has helped. Therefore i will need you permission to begin treatment as soon as possible?"
